<yoda>Mmm, many questions have I, yes.</yoda>

1) I understand that when controlling drones remotely with only a datajack
(ie. no VCR) and remote deck the character can only use captain's chair
mode, meaning the drones must use sensor-enhanced gunnery using their pilot
rating. What about jacking directly into a vehicle (again no VCR)? Does the
character use his/her own gunnery skill or does the vehicle use its pilot
rating?

2) Can psionicists conjure ally spirits (ally thought-forms)?

3) Can an ally spirit with the Inhabitation power also have 3D Movement? My
guess is no although MitS isn't clear on this point.

4) Does the Trid Entertainment spell require voluntary targets? If so how
could an inanimate object choose not to be affected?

5) For a paraplegic character, what would be a good guideline for choosing
active skills. More specifically, would the skill costs be based on current
attributes (Strength and Quickness both at 1) or attributes before the
accident. The character in question worked as a member of a DocWagon HTR
team before suffering, ahem, severe lead poisoning in the spine.

6) What does it cost to set up a B/R facility for rigger control?

7) Is there a way to increase the sensor rating of vehicles/drones above
what's listed in the vehicle descriptions section of the BBB3?

8) Can air elementals/spirits of the wind change air pressure? At what
rate? For that matter, what force must a spirit be to cause a flame-out or
massive compressor stall on a turbine engine?

9) When an awakened character loses magic and replaces the lost points by
taking geasa, which rating (lower magic rating or higher geas-enhanced
rating) is used to determine spell area-of-effect, max individual power
level for adepts, astral movement rate, etc.?

10) What do you think of combining Shadowrun with HoL? ;-)
